WINE DESCRIPTION
Altesino makes this Rosso di Montalcino entirely from select Sangiovese Grosso grapes sourced from the younger vines in the Altesino, Pianezzine, Macina, and Castelnuovo dell'Abate vineyards. After the fermentation process in stainless steel, the wine ages in large barrels of varied maturity for six to eight months followed by three months in bottle. The final wine is a perfect and accessible introduction to the terroir of Montalcino.
TASTING NOTES
Brilliant ruby-red color, this classic Rosso offers sumptuous aromas of ripened blackberries and dark cherries. On the palate, the wine is generously well-rounded and rich with fruit forward notes complimented by hints of leather and mesquite.
FOOD PAIRING
Recommended with pasta smothered in meat sauces, hearty game or beef-based casseroles.
CRITIC ACCLAIM
JD 90 | Jeb Dunnuck 90 points
Pouring a transparent red hue, the 2023 Rosso di Montalcino is fruity and forward in the glass with lifted aromas of ripe strawberries, candied red flowers, tangerine and sweet herbs. Medium-bodied and quaffable, it moves seamlessly to the palate, with a juicy, easygoing nature, and casts a wide net for enjoyment over the next 5-6 years.
JS 93 | James Suckling 93 points
“A graceful nose of menthol, red currants, orange peel and herbs. The attack is medium-bodied with ripe, velvety, silky tannins, lifted acidity and a savory finish. Precise, with a crunchy style at the end and a lively aftertaste. Drinkable now, but can age.”
